Description

In the northwest region of Oregon, near Portland, there are three magnificent volcanic peaks that oversee the area. These peaks are known as the Three Sisters. Amongst the Three Sisters, the South Sister (3,157 m.) stands above all of them. It is the tallest of the three, and it offers some of the finest ski routes in the region. This is a classic 1-day ski trip perfect for those looking for a ski descent of moderate difficulty.

The South Sister lays in the heart of the Central Oregon Cascades, an area brimming with mountains, peaks, lakes and stunning natural spots. Therefore, this area is ideal for those who love skiing. It is also excellent for those interested in visiting other natural places, as there are plenty of options nearby.

In the north you can find Mt. Jefferson (3,199 m.), Mt. Washington (1,917 m.) and the Three Fingered Jack (2,391 m.). Surrounding them you can find the Green Lake and the Three Greek Lake. Southeast is the Broken Top (2,797 m.), standing near Mt. Bachelor (2,764 m.).

In geological terms, the South Sister is the youngest of the Three Sisters, and as such, the least eroted. This volcanic peak does not only have thrilling ski routes, but fantastic views and great hiking trails worth exploring. The Three Sisters, North Sister (3,074 m.), Middle Sister (3,062 m.) and South Sister, are located in the Three Sisters Area.

This is the perfect trip for those looking for just the right amount of fun, adventure and beautiful natural scenery. This trip is classified as moderately difficult, so it welcomes expert as well as less experienced skiers.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
